john kerry won independents in 2004. he lost. today taking a deep dive into what may be the most accurate predictor of all the subgroups of presidential outcomes, the catholic vote. catholics made up a quarter of the electorate in 2012 and for the third election in a row the skrout come of the catholic vote nearly mirrored the overall vote almost exactly. let me show you here and get inside these numbers here. look at this. george w. bush 2004. he won catholic voters, 52% to 47%. and he won the election 51% to 48%. let's move on. this is barack obama in 2008. catholic voters 54% to 45%. overall election 53% to 46%. just a two-point deviation overall. nine points versus seven here. let's look at 2012. catholic vote 50% to 48%. overall vote 51% to 48%. just a one-point deviation if you will overall. something interesting inside the catholic vote. the president -- white catholics and nonwhite catholics and this mattered. look at this, the president lost white catholics in 2008 by just five points. it was actually a real hadly good s

and all of a sudden what i thought two days ago was more likely a nomination to go to john kerry. don't be surpriseded now, the president basically says, fine, to senate republicans, let's have this confirmation battle. the president's main goal, of course, at the press conference was to make the case that the public fully supports his view on the deficit reduction. and that means tax hikes on the rich as part of that solution. >> i think every voter out there understood that that was an important debate. and the majority of voters greed with me. not -- by the way, more voters greed with me on this issue than voted for me. >> he's referring to that exit poll number that we showed you yesterday on taxes. now, although the president drew a line in the sand making it clear that the bush era tax rates for the top 2% will go away, he left wiggle room on how high those rates could get and how those new tax revenues will be configured, explicitly not ruling out a compromise that could leave the top tax rates lower than they were during the clinton years. >> i'm open to compromise. and i'

kerry won it by about 1,000 votes. in 2008 the president won it by 19 points. look at that. 273,000 votes. look at the raw vote totals and look at what he did last tuesday. he won it by the same margin but, again, he increased his vote margin by a giant, by more votes than romney did over mccain. and finally, i want to get to osceola because osceola is the story of the expanded hispanic, if you will. if you look back 62%/37% for the president this time 67,000 votes to 40,000. to 2004 just to show you the dramatic shift in just eight years. bush won that county 52% to 47% but look at that, he got 43,000 votes then. again, let me show you the raw vote total of osceola for mitt romney this time. he got 40,000. just 3,000 votes less than president bush did and he won that county 62%, 37%. it shows you the huge growth. let me bring in adam smith because he is probably the most prolific political reporter these days at the tampa bay times. he lives in the i-4 corridor. he is probably one of these people that has said over an
